Homemade Electric Jet Engine Working Model (

This is a model of a jet engine (scale 1:24) that I made with an electric motor that moves, besides the fan, a set of gears and a flywheel that spin in 16:1 ratio, which I took from a flywheel-driven toy car.
Part 1: • Homemade Electric Jet ...
Part 3: • Homemade Electric Jet ...
The cool thing is that because of the flywheel, it makes the model react and sound similar to a real full-size jet engine.
Of course I know there are a lot of real homemade jet engines out there that are cooler that my humble model, but keep in mind that I made this just for fun, with only junk that was hanging around, and I spend just a few months (on and off) to made this. Besides there are a few advantages of having an electric model instead of a real jet engine model, like: is cheaper, is safer, is not too loud, etc.
I wasn't thinking in replicate any real jet engine in particular but as you can see is a model of a high-bypass turbofan for airliners, comparable to the CFM56 that is used on the Boeing 737.
At maximum speed the fan goes at 3600 RPM, and the fly wheel goes 16 times faster (57600 RPM).
Since I was a kid a plan to make this jet engine but I never accomplished, so the main purpose of this project was to fulfill that old wish, although it was also for fun.
I used:
- DC motor of 12V that I extracted from an old hairdryer.
- AC/DC adapter with output of 13.5V and 1000 mA.
- AC 120V rheostat (dimmer) to use it as a throttle.
- A gearbox with a flywheel which I took from a flywheel-driven toy car. It also has a little piece of plastic striking the gear of the flywheel to make the high-pitched whistling sound.
- The blades of the fan are made of metal that I extracted from a bunch of 3½-inch HD floppy disks (the part that covers the exposed disk). I cut and mold every blade (20 of them) by hand.
- For the N1 gauge I used an ammeter from an old record player, an electromagnet, 4 magnets and 4 diodes connected in a bridge configuration to convert the AC generated to DC.
- I made the exterior with body filler, the same used for cars, and a lot of sanding and paint.
I recorded the first part video over a year ago, and drop the project. But recently I created the housing and did a few improvements so I posted this 2nd video.

FAQ
1. How much thrust does it make?
None. Is just a model/toy
2. Is just a fan, right?
Yes, is just a fan.
3. Why call it a jet engine if is a fan?
Is a model/toy of a turbofan jet engine. Is a representation of an airliner engine.
4. Any plans to put it on an RC airplane?
No, because it doesn't generate any thrust (by design).

A "jet" is a stream of a liquid or gas forced out of a small opening. An engine is a machine with moving parts that converts stored energy in to kinetic energy. While this guys creation is not a "jet engine" in the commonly used sense, it is technically a jet engine, by definition of the words.

@3DPDK 7 жыл бұрын

First of all to InterlinkKnight: A beautiful display and teaching model. The N1 gauge is a cool idea. It might enhance the model to also simulate the N2 and Exhaust Gas Temp (EGT) gauges as well. The shroud is nicely modeled and I'm wondering if it is a custom build or from an RC model supply. To all the previous arguments in the comments below. A jet engine is NOT like a rocket engine. Although the escaping exhaust does account for a portion of the overall thrust the majority of thrust is produced by the rapidly moving air through the engine induced by the compressor (or fan). Today's high thrust engines take better advantage of that by allowing a large amount of the compressed air formed in the first stages of the compressor to bypass the combustion chamber. For obvious reasons these are called Bypass Jet engines. The primary purpose of the exhaust is to drive the "low pressure" turbine which in turn drives the front end compressor. The bypass air serves to cool the combustion chamber housing, it pre-cools the exhaust gasses and produces roughly about 80% of the total thrust of the engine. The Navy S-3 has an extremely large intake compressor and sounds like a vacuum cleaner on steroids. It is a jet engine that could almost be called a ducked fan because of the huge amount of air that bypasses the combustion chamber. On the USS Independence I once heard the Air Boss ask (with tung in cheek) "...so, does an S-3 blow or suck it's way around the sky?"

@interlinkknight 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks. As a matter of fact I do plan making another similar model and is going to have a color LCD display that will show all gauges you mention and some more. But that is for a future model engine. To answer you, I made the shroud by hand using body filler, the same use in cars.
